Hello all,

anyone have a good updated guide on how to configure a VPN services (in my case AirVPN) with OPNsense?  I tried something like this when I was on pfSense/PIA but I made a hash of it since the UI had been updated but the guide had not been.

Thank you in advance

ok will I have some alone time (wife and kids are on a field trip) this weekend and I'll play around with this and make some notes on the process.

Ok so last night I had some time to try this out.  I found a a bunch of guides (a few for illustration sake):

https://airvpn.org/topic/17444-how-to-set-up-pfsense-23-for-airvpn/
https://nguvu.org/pfsense/pfsense-2.3-setup/

But even after painstakingly going over the guides (yeah  I i know it's not a one to one using a guide meant for pfsense) three times (admittedly fixing a number of mistakes along the way) I ended up with no internet connection.  Played around until I ran out of time and then restored to the point just prior to making all the changes.

As a relative noob I have to say that I've had root canals that were less painful than to try to setup an OPENVPN connection.

So you want your OPNsense box to be a AirVPN client, and then use it (OPNsense) as a gateway (router) for the rest of your network? It's not terribly clear what you are trying to achieve.

I'm in the process of writing a detailed AIRVPN routing guide for opensense now, should have it ready by tomorrow.

Finished writing my "HOW TO" on VPN Routing in Opnsense, Im using AirVPN so this will prob help Nnyan :)
